It seems that gardens have become more important to UK homeowners during the pandemic, with research* showing that 58% feel their garden has become more of a priority, resulting in a willingness to spend considerably more on their outdoor space.
Just 12% of homeowners normally spend more than £600 on their garden each year; in 2021, this figure increased to 22% and a further 27% say they plan to spend more than £600 in 2022. The most common expenditure is on new plants, with other additions such as new garden furniture, outdoor lighting and fencing also featuring high on the garden wish list.
With demand increasing for outdoor space amongst house hunters and the rise in homeworking, your garden could be the biggest selling point of your property, with greenery instantly upgrading the kerb appeal of your home. Giving your garden some love could prove to be a valuable investment.
